The Celtic Church to the Roman Catholic Church 662,
when a
Catholic priest named 'Wilfrid' visited them to persuade them to follow
Corrupted Rome:

"We know no other master than Christ. We know nothing of
the Bishop of Rome and his new character as Pope. We like not his
strange customs and we'll not observe them.
We are the British church. The Archbishop of which is accountable to God, and to God alone; having no superior on earth.

Be it known and declared, that we all, individually and collectively,
are in all humility prepared to defer to the church of God and to the
bishop of Rome, and to every sincere and godly Christian; so far as to
love every one to his degree in perfect charity, and to assist them all
by word and deed in becoming the children of God. But as for any other
obedience, we know of none that he whom you term 'the Pope' or Bishop
or Bishops, can demand.

The difference we have mentioned, we are ready to pay to him as to
every Christian. But in all other respects our obedience is due to the
jurisdiction of the Bishop ofCaerleon; who is alone, under God, our
ruler to keep us right in the way of salvation."

Cliff: as
devout and sincere as the Celtic church practiced Christianity, even
they misquoted at times. In this last paragraph they declare that the
bishop of Caerleon keeps them right in the way of salvation. But this
cannot be correct, for it is their faith and Christ alone: a bishop is
a mere administrator of a church organization, and many are impostors. It's not the churches, but Jesus and Jesus alone! Caerleon is in Wales.

...And The
Gates Of Hell Shall Not Prevail Against ItThrough the ages Catholics
and other Nicolaitans tried to defy the above quotation by Jesus, oppressing
and murdering many, deceiving and misleading many more, but they have not
and shall not prevail against 'His Church'.
